It's Not All Doom And Gloom

I love 50 word stories (excluding the title). Why not give it a try? It's fun, and helps you to appreciate every word. Like this:

IT'S NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM
‘In my humble opinion, Bert, life gives you two choices: You can stay single and be miserable, or get married and wish you were dead.’
‘It’s not all doom and gloom, Eric. I found my wife’s erogenous zone last night.’
‘Did you? Where was it?’
‘The cake counter at Sainsburys.’
